The Judy Garland Show: Volume 3

One would think that a black and white variety series from the 1960s would have limited appeal. Well, think again. There’s something so fresh and unpretentious about The Judy Garland Show that it will win you over even if you don’t know anything about the host beyond the fact that she was in the Wizard of Oz. The woman can really sing, and her list of guests brings their A-game to the show knowing they will share the stage with her. But it’s equally delightful to watch Garland sit back, light up a cigarette and shoot the breeze with her celebrity guests between numbers.
